    Exactly. But having multiple wives under the age of 15 is A-OKAY!

    It was. She got a restraining order against him before she disappeared for precisely that reason.

  3. Re:Unlikely, but... on Microsoft Downplaying Recent DNS Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or rather than spending all that effort in trying to downplay it, they could just fix the vulnerability and stop all the would-be attackers in their tracks. Nah, that would make too much sense.

    What history of violence? Are you talking about the shoving match in college with a guy who spammed his mailbox with 5000 messages? No, he's referring to violence against his wife.

    There's a difference between buying a book on such a topic AFTER getting in trouble for the crime. It's another thing, and mighty suspicious looking, when the police find it before you're even arrested for the crime. Hans falls in the latter category.

    At 700 dollars and only 1 TB of storage? Pffffft. I'll pass.

    Spray and pray is an extremely effective strategy. With my trust AK-47 I was almost always able to get 2.0+ KDRs in CS.

    Where did I saw anything in my post about all cultures being equal? My post was in response to this statement:

    I doubt it'll be too severe when an American dies on a foreign craft. History doesn't bear this out very well.

    If you want to talk about durability and toughness you just need one word: AK-47.

    Never underestimate the power of xenophobia on any public mob.

    Actually it's nothing like that at all. An analogous statement would be someone saying they have to hitch a trailer to their vehicle so that wherever they go they can haul along their TV, bookcase, etc with them.

  12. Re:iPod choices are going downhill on Apple Prepares For the Coming iPod Slump · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    If I want to carry around my entire music collection then I need at least 100GB. And other than to say that you carry around all your music on your iPod is there an actual practical point of this? Do you routinely spend 2+ months away from your computer listening to music 24/7?
  13. Re:iPod choices are going downhill on Apple Prepares For the Coming iPod Slump · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yeah the iPod touch is cool, but 32GB is woefully inadequate. What's woefully inadequate about it? That's enough music so that you'd never have to repeat a song for over 16 days. Why exactly would you ever need to be carrying around more than 16 days of music at any one time for?

    2) The bots themselves will use encryption to communicate amongst themselves They already do that now. That's one of the major issues with tracking down the whole extent of the botnet.

    ...but I have this fuzzy notion that there are licenses outside of the GPL -- ones that even allow being both for profit and open source You mean... like the GPL?

  19. Re:Double Standard on FBI Renews Push for ISP Data Retention Laws · · Score: 1

    You were trying to make it out as if the administration had no hand in this and that it was only sponsored Democrat bill. I was pointing that out to be false and showing that the bill is also sponsored by Republicans like Lamar Smith.

    I don't doubt that the end results have probably lead to many positive thing. The issue is that these ends do not justify the means that is used in many cases to reach these ends. And in the end our freedoms have been damaged greatly due to us being constantly told that our freedoms should take a second seat to the search for pedophiles, terrists, etc.

    They've open sourced everything they had rights to do long ago. The only parts they didn't was due to stuff they had licensed and had no right to release the source code for. Seriously, how dare they not violate their contracts so that you could get code they had no right to release!
